  • I had a set of four for getting ethernet around the few places I rented. There was maybe the odd quality decrease when there was a lot of electrical load, but they worked great otherwise.

  • The cost of doing business.

    Income-based fines should really be more commonplace.

  • Oh man, I remember a Philips mp3 player I had for the longest time as a kid. You could hear the little clicks of the hard drive. Lost it on a hike, unfortunately.

  • It might not be original quality, but this should be fairly straightforward with a tunnel or VPN connection to your parent's house. You'd also lose quality in having a WiFi camera instead of wired.

  • I was driving in this area on Thursday. Definitely wouldn't recommend anything other than a truck or Subaru. Had a full inch of mud in the wheels when I got home.

    And of course, as soon as you cross the MB border, nice, reasonably well maintained pavement.

  • Jeremy Harrison is little more than a middleschool bully, and his antics continually demonstrate that, despite him being a 46 year old man. One of my favourite is when Donna Harpauer, Finance Minister, blamed high gas prices on the Saskatchewan NDP in 2023 (yeah, try to figure that one out), and ol Jer was sitting right behind her cheering so fervently he might as well had been in a skirt waving pom poms around.

  • I think it'd be a stretch to call some of those provincial 'health insurance' programs functional in several aspects.

  • They're not mega saturated, they're overexposed, which isn't atypical when photographing at night. Most pictures you'd see of the milky way were captured this way.

  • And also that many contracts to improve on IT are performed by the lowest bidder.

  • The $34.95/hr average is stated as the average for permanent positions. I doubt many of the service industry jobs are permanent positions.

  • The underlying plot of this article is rather obnoxious. This Smith guy's 2016 Hyundai hybrid broke and the dealer gave him a $15k quote to fix it, which was then resolved by Hyundai corporate. The headline statement is one small paragraph, and irrelevant to this random story.

    To discuss the headline, though, I think it all stems from misinformation more than anything. I have an EV in the charging desert of north east Saskatchewan. It's a fantastic car and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one again. Yes, you do have to plan ahead a bit if you're going longer distances, but the slight inconvenience is well worth the savings in fuel. Winter range can be reduced by around 50% at -30, but again, you plan around that. ICE vehicles don't perform well at those temperatures either.

    Even then, the trips the vast majority of people make are well within typical EV ranges and there are often several charging option wherever the vehicle is parked.

  • And those professionals often aren't getting the majority of their income from capital gains.

  • Why would one prefer a VM over an LXC for Docker?

  • You don't have backups set up in Proxmox?

  • I'd say that's kind of expected in an industry that's created essentially out of nothing. It was a weed rush, some are winners, but many are losers. Sure there's regulatory burden, but that was known going into it.

    I feel like weed shops will soon go the way of the many frozen yogurt shops of a decade ago.

  • I feel like that's the opposite of what we want. Perhaps a storefront where one could choose what they want from different providers for a reasonable price would be good, but consolidation leads to *opolies, which are never good for consumers.

  • It's not OP's website. Looks like there's a contact form on the site though.

  • My comment was more on the wanton discount of expert opinion, not of the particular thoughts raised in this article. Broadly discounting expert opinion with preference to the common person, as this "spokesperson" has, is an incredibly dangerous paradigm to push.

  • "Common sense Conservatives will listen to the common sense of the common people, not Justin Trudeau's so-called 'experts,'" a spokesperson for Poilievre told the Canadian Press.

    Translation: we, Conservatives, prefer to ignore any information, no matter how well researched or sourced, that goes against our own opinion, which in all cases, is simply the opposite opinion of the governing party. In fact, we prefer the opinion of those with much to gain from us opposing these opinions, such as oil and gas companies, Christian groups, and really any person likely to receive personal monetary gain which can then be shared with us.
